The Global Project-Based Learning (GPbL) program was officially launched as a collaboration between the Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (ITS), the Shibaura Institute of Technology (SIT) in Japan, and the IHI Corporation. This activity is part of a concrete effort to strengthen the relationship between industry and academia through international project-based learning. The GPbL 2025 program is designed to provide students with hands-on experience in applying science and technology to solve real-world problems in the energy transition sector, both at the national and urban levels.
The ITS–SIT–IHI GPbL 2025 program will be implemented through two methods: online and offline. The online program will be held on August 15, 22, and 29, 2025, and will focus on project introduction sessions, opening lectures, and cross-university team building. Meanwhile, the offline program will be held in Surabaya from September 2 to 11, 2025, and will include lectures, group discussions, and collaborative projects between ITS, SIT, and industry representatives from the IHI Corporation. In this activity, participants were directly mentored by lecturers and professionals from the three institutions with expertise in science, technology, and industrial approaches.
Through this program, GPbL 2025 participants gained valuable international experience in solving real-world problems and improving their critical thinking, cross-cultural collaboration, and professional communication skills. In addition to strengthening synergies between higher education and industry, this activity also demonstrated the commitment of ITS, SIT, and IHI to supporting sustainable innovation and the development of global human resources oriented towards future solutions.
